I also think that \= looks better, because
a) what we're doing is *assigning* an id (at least from a user's
perspective)
b) \- looks more like a misspelled -\ (as in -\markup) and thus somewhat
confusing.


This is indeed very exiting "news" - and the fact that a new interface
seems necessary to make that option known is indeed interesting.

Is the request for making it possible to have an "id"ed slur/spanner go
to another voice/staff related to that issue or is it technically a
different thing?
